Friday, July 11, 2008 This week's outrage comes to us courtesy of the fringe animal "rights" group known as the New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance (NJARA).
We've reported before on animal "rights" groups that try to push their agenda via "educational materials" that are foisted upon our school systems. The propaganda usually consists of the same, radical, scare tactics and lies we've seen time and again and come to expect. This time, however, the NJARA has served up a version that, even by current standards, is utterly ridiculous.
"The Zargon Connection" is part of NJARA's "Humane and Responsible Teachers" curriculum designed for grades pre-K through 9. The package includes a variety of classroom exercises, activities and lesson plans. Included are suggestions to avoid field trips to zoos and aquariums because they "perpetuate the belief that it's acceptable to imprison animals." And, of course, one of NJARA's major issues is "the killing of wildlife for management or sport." So far, that's pretty standard fare. But here's where things really take a turn for the weird. "The Zargon Connection" is a science fiction story in which Earth is invaded by Zargonians-aliens that hunt and eat human beings for sport. And, of course, the objective of the curriculum is to create in the minds of young children, the idea that the hunting and eating of game animals (and presumably the raising and eating of chickens, cows and pigs) is the same as hunting and eating your classmates.
A few "Zargonian" excerpts: [ul][*]Parts of Earth have been "designated as 'human management areas' where they hunt us for pleasure and for our meat, which is considered a delicacy by Zargonian gourmets."
[*]"Zargonians use a variety of hunting techniques. They frighten us and then shoot us in the back as we run for our lives. Or they unleash vicious Zargonian hounds who chase us to exhaustion and desperation, sometimes tearing us apart with their teeth when they catch us."
[*]"Occasionally, in a technique known as baiting, Zargonians will set up a fast food restaurant or pizza parlor and burst in on us while we eat, with their street sweepers blazing."
[*]"Often, their weapons leave us alive, but dreadfully wounded, and we die slowly and painfully from blood loss, infection or starvation. Some of us are children, left to starve alone and afraid when they kill our parents." [/ul] There is plenty more, but you get the idea.
This "curriculum" is nothing more than NJARA's attempt to forward their agenda by terrifying young children with their preposterous and grossly offensive propaganda. The idea that you can "educate" young children by giving them nightmares is outrageous.

These aliens are mentally far superior
to us. They do not attempt to organize
human affairs or govern human society,
any more than we tried to organize the
affairs of squirrels or rabbits. Instead,
they use Earth for their own purposes,
and simply push us aside or kill us
when our presence becomes
inconvenient.

Zargonian technology has advanced to
a level that humans cannot even
comprehend. Their star ships, for
example, can travel thousands of times
the speed of light, a feat that according
to human physics is impossible.
Therefore, humans cannot travel to
Zargon, but Zargonians can visit
humans on a long weekend. Naturally,
these visits are not all that welcome.

Zargonians are great lovers of
swimming and water sports, but their
home planet has no natural beaches.
So they have turned our beaches and
coastal areas into vacation resorts that
are off limits to humans. The remainder
of Earth they have designated as
"human management areas," where
they hunt us for pleasure, and for our
meat, which is considered a delicacy by
Zargonian gourmets.

Zargonians use a variety of hunting techniques. Most often they shoot us from ambush. Other times, they
frighten us and then shoot us in the
back as we run for our lives. Another
favorite technique is to unleash vicious
Zargonian hounds who chase us to
exhaustion and desperation,
sometimes tearing us apart with their
claws and teeth when they catch us.

Occasionally, in a technique known as
baiting, Zargonians will set up a fast
food restaurant or pizza parlor and
burst in on us while we eat, with their
Zargonian "street sweepers" blazing.
Zargonian weapons, the operating
principles of which are not well
understood by human scientists, can
kill us at extremely long range. Our
weapons, on the other hand, are rarely
able to injure or kill a Zargonian hunter.
When a human does kill a Zargonian
hunter or destroys one of their vehicles,
the Zargonians become indignant
about "vicious" humans. They take
measures to deal with the problem,
such as extending the hunting season
and increasing the bag limit.

However, even the Zargonians'
technology is not perfect. Often their
weapons leave us alive but dreadfully
wounded, and we die slowly and
painfully from blood loss, infection, or
starvation. Some of us are mothers,
and we die knowing that our children
are orphans. Some of us are children,
left to starve alone and afraid when
they kill our parents.

Sometimes, to make the hunt more "sporting," Zargonian hunters limit themselves to what they call "primitive weapons." They claim that this gives us a better chance to get away and is in the spirit of "fair chase." But these
weapons are primitive only by
Zargonian standards, not ours, and
they do not even the odds; it simply means more of us are wounded rather than killed outright. In any event, we do
not see anything fair or sporting about
killing us from ambush, shooting us in
the back, or killing us with powerful
technology, even technology that looks
primitive to the aliens.

An Earthling Rights Movement on
Zargon has formed that is trying to
have the hunting of humans banned
because it is cruel and unworthy of the
advanced Zargonian civilization. When
challenged, Zargonian hunters,
supported by the Zargonian
government, defend their sport with the
arguments in The Zargonians' Case for
Hunting People.
On Zargon, this Earthling Rights debate
rages on. On Earth, the fearsome Zargonian weapons take their toll. Every hunting season, we suffer and die by the hundreds of millions; our children are orphaned, our adults widowed. Terror and grief are now the most common human emotions. No
one is left unaffected. The cruelty of the Zargonian hunters has twisted one way or another every human life. However, the most crushing truth of all is that we are helpless to end this slaughter. Our
fate is in the hands of the Zargonians;
we are completely at their mercy. When
will it end? How will it end? Will it ever
end? These are the most important
questions in our lives, but only the
aliens can answer them. We wait. We
hope. And while we hope, we die.

If dey really are good to eat den dey not gonna last a week. Especial' if dey good in de gumbo an you ain't gotta peel em'. Limits in cajun country is kinda like stoplights ....more of a suggestion if you take my meanin'.
"Laissez Le Bon Temps Rouler" thats "Let the good times roll" for you folks further north than Shreveport[:D]

Well if the "aliens" hunt like human hunters, they will have all the dumb humans harvested, while the smart ones that can hunt animals live on, guess that will take care of the dumb peta types of humans for us finely. Hooray for the Zargonians!

I hope they have to where orange like we do. That would be of some help if we were to um say.....hunt back? [:o] PETA would not have put that possibilty in their little primer I don't think. Of course the friendly people at PETA would not be the ones getting ate ...they're everybodys friends. Besides who ever heard of " ...Beware the Purple PETA people eater" Although if anybody has a matched pair I would be more than happy to start a breeding program for posterity's sake[:D]

The point is this is offered in schools by teachers, freely available with lesson plans and an agenda. In some States this might be a tough sale, but in NJ and CA this is standard fare. The oposing view is not represented and often is opposed with hostility and prejudice. Notice this is written in the context of deer hunting and targets all forms of it.
